Does anyone know if GTA5 is free right now? 🤔

elfin field
#

@neon spire it’s free until the end of this month

neon spire
#

@elfin field i know I was just joking cause it’s been posted so many times

calm reef
elfin field
#

Eh I already have gta5 on steam just can’t play it on a Mac sadly and don’t have my pc built yet

#

Cause I’m still figuring that out rn

calm reef
#

On mac you can run Windows trough boot camp to play games but it is not fantastic

I have been running Oculus Rift S on a 1050Ti and it works for almost all the games we want but I don't want to buy Half-Life: Alyx and have it run terrible. Has anyone run it on a 1050 TI?

halcyon fossil
#

half life alyx wont run great on a 1050ti

#

its a memory hog

final horizon
#

Thanks!

halcyon fossil
#

ye

final horizon
#

1660 Super?

halcyon fossil
#

that would handle it fine

final horizon
#

Thanks again.

halcyon fossil
#

sure

manic mural
daring sleet
#

@final horizon What kind of games do you play?

#

I'm looking into getting a Rift S and I also have a 1050 TI, but the card is a bit on the low end of things, and I'm not sure if it would run well.

#

I basically want to play FNAF help wanted, and maybe games like beat saber

final horizon
#

Beat Saber, Super Hot, Boneworks all run great with the 1050 ti the fans don't even get loud. I wish I knew how much better it could look so I could justify an upgrade to the 1660 super or even 2060 to just have the Ray Tracing so help get some longevity out of the purchase.

#

@daring sleet The 1050 ti can run a lot of the games out there since the Oculus Quest can run them and are basically a smartphone processor. You will have a lot of fun.

halcyon fossil
#

@final horizon quest games are optimized for quest

#

they are not pc vr games

#

beat saber on quest is not the same as beat saber on pc

final horizon
#

Thanks for clarifying. I never played the quest version.

halcyon fossil
#

i used a 1050ti for vr, from my experience beat saber was worse in comparison to using it on a 1070 (same headset)

#

ye

whole knoll
#

the 1050ti is aging quick though

halcyon fossil
#

they toned down the graphics a bit on quest

final horizon
#

I am very pleased with the Rift S. What was better with the better card for Beat Saber? Anti aliasing? I want to convince myself to get off my wallet and upgrade but I need to be wow'd after spending $300 and putting the 1050 ti on a shelf.

halcyon fossil
#

i used a Windows Mixed Reality headset for my testing so take it with a grain of salt

#

but

#

tracking was much better and smoother on the 1070

#

sometimes with the 1050ti my saber would update after i swung it so it would just skip past the block

#

it was a mobile 1050ti btw just for clarification

#

but mobile 1050ti is about on par with desktop

final horizon
#

Those are great points to consider.

halcyon fossil
#

experience may vary so pls dont get mad if you dont get the same results haha

#

but seriously

#

i thought VR was fine on my 1050ti, then i tried it on a 1070 and i was wrong

#

its a lot better on the 1070.

#

also, you might not have to drop that full $300 youre talking about @final horizon. Check out these deals on Ebayhttps://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=gtx+1070&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1

whole knoll
#

i picked up a Samsung odyssey plus for $180 back in October and i couldn't be happier. tracking is decent and display is so nice. Honestly WMR has become my main because of the screen quality, with some tracking upgrades you could have a really good budget vr headset

halcyon fossil
#

odyssey+ is currently $300

#

the Rift S has a lot of features over the odyssey+ for just $100 more

#

but for $180 the odyssey+ is a good deal

final horizon
#

I am nervous to buy used...

whole knoll
#

yeah they had it on a flash sale for $230 and you got a $50 Microsoft gift card with purchases over $200

#

dont be used is the way to go

halcyon fossil
#

understandable

whole knoll
#

just be cautions

halcyon fossil
#

rift s has much better tracking, much better controllers, much better software, and much better support (at least by game devs) in comparison to the Odyssey+, but that does not mean that the odyssey+ is a bad headset.

calm reef

rift s fan boy ^

whole knoll
#

no i would 100% go rift s if i had the money

eBay has good buyers protection

SlappleMyApple#9852 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

manic mural
#

but ebay is good

halcyon fossil
#

no other headset i would recommend for $400 techghost

whole knoll
#

tracking is bad on the wmr

final horizon
#

Ebay does have buyer guarantee.
Oculus support is not great. The set is great tho

halcyon fossil
#

if there was a different headset for $400 that was actually good, i would simp for that instead

calm reef
#

just buy index ez ROFLEgg

whole knoll
#

imagine having that money

halcyon fossil
#

rift s audio sucks, and is receiving no feature updates from Oculus.

calm reef
#

actually i heard there was a new quest competitor in china

halcyon fossil
#

im not buying a headset thats not from a name brand

whole knoll
#

yeah but its not in na yet

calm reef
#

yup

whole knoll
#

imagine if hand tracking got implemented into boneworks

calm reef
halcyon fossil
#

lol...

calm reef
#

it don't look very pretty tho

final horizon
#

The audio is acceptable for what I use it for. I am not an audiophile. I was fine with Napster mp3 audio, no need for FLAC for me.

halcyon fossil
#

its acceptable all right

calm reef
#

yes

whole knoll
#

my dumb arse thought it said iQuit

calm reef
#

flac only

halcyon fossil
#

but the Oculus Rift CV1 had far better audio

#

so we just evolved backwards.

😐

calm reef

it's beautiful

Looks like my fire stick remote.

worse than Windows Mixed Reality controllers.

Unless you pay $1200 for a 2080 ti then you get an upgrade in your optic nerve.

whole knoll
#

im just saying you could buy 3 2080ti kingpins if you sell your kidney

#

just a suggestion

final horizon
#

I need both.

whole knoll
#

you only need one kidney tho

final horizon
#

True, but I have my kidneys in a RAID 1 configuration.

whole knoll
#

just turn them into ACHD

#

wait i dont think i spelled that right

final horizon
#

I knew what you meant. Haha.

mighty void
#

I bought a rift s before they were starting to be sold out everywhere and i love it. the fact that i dont have to set up any cameras is great. also good for travel if you wanna bring it to a friends house that has a pc as well

final horizon
#

We got ours on Black Friday. The built in cameras are great. I have to say one of my favorite apps is google earth VR. It is chill flying around the world.

dire orbit
#

is now a good time to buy a vr headset if I can find one in stock

gilded lion
#

Now is not a good time to buy anything

dire orbit
#

why is it a bad time to buy vr headsets

gilded lion
#

Because the virus is inflating prices

#

And it’ll take a long time to ship...

#

Everything is just way out of wack

dire orbit
#

rift s is still $400 on the oculus site

#

i was gonna wait for it to come back in stock and then get one

#

idc if it takes a while to ship

I want to get into VR gaming I want to play like shooting games where I can brutally murder people

ive heard boneworks and pavlov are pretty good

I don’t know how to set up a VR can u like walk me through what to do

#

@ me

whole knoll
#

bone works is a fuego

calm reef
#

it's not that it's a bad time to buy vr, it's that you will never be able to find one in stock

#

don't pay more than 400 for a rift s or quest

#

Hi guys, I am building my first PC, so I'm really lost here with my problem.....

manic mural
#

go ahead

twin kraken
#

Hey thanks! first off CPU: R3 3200G, GPU: integrated graphics for now, Ram: 16G DDR4

#

my PC resets after so long

#

of being idle

manic mural
#

What do you mean by reset? Restart?

twin kraken
#

It shuts off and goes to bios screen, it tends to go to the "windows has encountered a problem" blue screen with the ":(" face

#

before rebooting to bios i mean

#

then it loops between the Asrock bios screen and the Win10 loading screen

manic mural
#

did you by any chance recorded the stop code? This stuff.

twin kraken
#

dang I didnt notice that text. Though I have seen that screen multiple times I only got a picture once, stop code:IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

#

sometimes it doesnt show that screen at all

manic mural
twin kraken
#

I will give this a shot thanks

manic mural
twin kraken
#

I'm not having much luck at all, I can't get to safe mode or reset into Windows Recovery Environment either, I've gotten another stop code: "kernel security check failure" and one similar to the first except now: "DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

#

I did find a forum with a pretty specific guide, but frankly I am having a real hard time deciphering what settings are where and how to change them.

manic mural
#

@burnt atlas ideas?

twin kraken
#

it said...

#

So you need to check your SPD from "DRAM Timing Information" The last line you have should be something like 3600 or whatever your XMP Ram speed is. You will notice the usual "16-19-19-39" But also tRC tRRD_L/S & tFAW. Now for me these settings were incorrect tRC being auto'ed to 85 and tFAW at 44, with these settings left in auto in "Dram Timing Configuration". Make sure these settings match. 9 times out of 10 this will be your problem for boot issues as well. I should also mention if you are running higher frequency (3600mhz for example dual side RGB Ram and your fclk is not matching the speed (1800mhz) then you need to force it manually by selecting it in the bios for the time being.
Boot issues

manic mural
#

So can you get into bios?

twin kraken
#

yes, am in it right now

#

the guy also said....

#

I have noticed that sometimes the problem stems from other settings being left on Auto such as SOC and VDDG Voltages. I Originally suggested at least 1.08-1.1 for soc However I have since found with the correct ram settings in place I can run 1.05 on SOC and 1.03 on VDDG voltages with no loss of performance. Never run your VDDG higher than SOC you will cause loss of performance. The only way to truly test what an ok voltage is to run a cinebench if you run one on auto voltages then another on lower voltages you should see no difference in performance. Also note that the boot order sometimes tends to forget itself. Make sure you have only the drive you want to boot from in the boot order if you have an Boot Partition left over on an old SSD and get rid of it.
Cold Boot Bug

#

One last thing if you notice a post code of some kind probably a 22 or the occasional 4F or 8d . This is due a cold boot bug and can only be worked around by hard powering off the system (Hold down power) and powering it before it does it for you and if you find it keeps stopping on a code the only thing to do is let it shut off and it will reset bios and load the saved bios again but hopefully with the correct voltages and settings you shouldnt be seeing much of the codes getting stuck at boot
Bad LEDs

#

If you have flickering LEDs or wrong colours or dead LED's its probably not your hardware going bad. Its probably the trash software. What you can do is reset the firmware. In the C:\Program Files (x86)\ASRock Utility\ASRRGBLED\Bin folder is a writefw file. open a command line to the folder and run the file. it will reset your firmware however the flickering if left on static will probably return. Ive had to leave my on slow breathe so it doesnt happen. I believe setting in bios may stop flickering since its better so if you have that option id stick with that but if you have too many LEDs for Bios to handle per default. Install Polychrome and set the LED number correctly so they light up, then uninstall it and go back to bios.

#

I dont know if any of this is useful but it seems somewhat relatable to what is happening to me

manic mural
#

Have you tried looking in the ram settings relating to the first option?

#

Well, I can try to walk you through it.

#

What ram do you have?

twin kraken
#

I'm trying to find that info, but am not finding what it specifies

#

i get confused here

#

Now for me these settings were incorrect tRC being auto'ed to 85 and tFAW at 44, with these settings left in auto in "Dram Timing Configuration". Make sure these settings match. 9 times out of 10 this will be your problem for boot issues as well. I should also mention if you are running higher frequency

#

ram: 16GB kit (2x8GB) DDR4 3200 CL 16-18-18-38 1.35V

manic mural
#

Can you take a picture of how your ram settings look in your bios?

twin kraken
#

totes, one sec

#

hmm, how do i send pictures? This is my first time on discord too btw..

#

think the files might be to big ill try it smaller

#

I dont know, it wont let me load images on here or the desktop app, how frustrating...

gilded lion
#

It's cause your not level 3 MEE6

#

Gotta be level 3 to post links or images

twin kraken
#

ah

gilded lion
#

DM the image to me and I'll post it if you want

twin kraken
#

hey thanks

twin kraken
#

The graphical issues are freaking me out.....

manic mural
#

that might be an issue there

#

you said your kits were 16-18-18-38

#

thats 16-16-16-39 right now

twin kraken
#

confused, so do i need different ram then?

#

The tCL tRCDRD tRCDWR tRP and tRAS?

manic mural
#

I think you need to change the values

#

@twin kraken can you find the XMP profiles?

#

usually xmp profiles comes with the correct values

twin kraken
#

PC just stopped working, rebooting , one sec,

manic mural
#

Alright.

twin kraken
#

my kits are 16-18-18-38 but which numbers am I changing? the top five from the 1st image? There are 5 spots for numbers but only 4 parts to my ram kit 16-18-18-38

manic mural
#

@twin kraken Well, if you could find the XMP profile, that'll be an easy apply, but if you want to just change the numbers, in your bios, it splits up tRC into tRCRD and tRCWR, but both should usually be the same

#

so tCL to 16, tRCRD and tRCWR to 18, tRP to 18, and tRAS to 38

twin kraken
#

uh now it wont even boot to the bios... jst turns on, fans spin, then turns off then loops....

#

am I frying somthing at this point?

manic mural
#

likely not

#

@twin kraken sorry for me being gone, was playing a game with a friend. Are you aware of how to reset cmos?

twin kraken
#

not at all

manic mural
#

I'll explain the steps and what it does.

twin kraken
#

no worries being away, i understand

#

appreciate the help

manic mural
#

First, you turn off your PC, flip the switch on the back to make sure it's completely off. There is a small bios battery on your motherboard (sometimes it hides under the graphics card), you take it out. Then you press the power button on the case a few times to help discharge the power. After a few minutes, you put the battery back in and start as normal.

What this does, is basically reset your bios, all the settings back to default, and clears it out.

twin kraken
#

tried it once, no luck, perheps I didnt wait long enough before powering back up trying again

manic mural
#

Make sure the switch on the back of your PSU is switched off

twin kraken
#

will do

#

I swear I did everything the way you said, but it is still stuck turning off/on no image loop....

manic mural
#

weird

twin kraken
#

im walking away from this for awhile... feeling defeated at the moment, I will revisit in a few hours and let know what happens, keeping everything unplugged switched off for the time being.

#

back in

#

I changed the settings, not much seems to have changed, yet but I was able to get it to boot from my win10 usb drive, but its stuck on a black screen with the blue window, no loading bar or nothing....

idle zealot
#

Reset the CMOSS

#

It will unapply any and all changes in the BIOS

#

There's either a button on your motherboard somewhere, or there is two pins your supposed to short

#

the pins will be labeled CTC something.

#

I think my graphics card is covering mine at the moment so I can't show it

#

If you needed to short the CTC pins, all you need to do is hold a metal object against both prongs for a few seconds (usually 5).

#

It will either start up on its own, or you manually power it on.

twin kraken
#

Well, thankfully I am able to get into the bios menu and change values and such. I haven't had any of the graphical anommallyies as earlier. I also reset the CMOS , battery and such (should I get a new battery?) Is the CMOS seperate from the CMOSS?

#

but....

#

I can't get it to boot into my Win10 boot drive (that has worked 3 times so far of my trying to install Windows on this PC so far)

#

it gets to the windows logo screen but does not go past, should I wait for a longer period of time? It had a bunch of anomalies going on if I waited to long sometimes though. But as of now haven't seen them yet. Could my flash-drive have gotten corrupt in all of this hullabaloo? Is there some drivers I need to install before I try to install Windows? There is a support cd that came with the MOBO but I didn't notice anything to important on it, but as I am new to this, is there something I could've looked over?

cold helm
#

was wondering if any one knew this question my fps is like above 100 in cs go and my monitor on my laptop is 144hz so when i turn on tripple buffered in cs go and motion blur on my frames drop below 144 fps and drop to around 110 fps but its smoother so my question is when u record to youtube u want your recording with motion blur and tripple buffered vertyical sync on right?

#

or will the game act smooth with out motion blur or vsync off

#

and higher fps

manic mural
#

Not sure but do remember the footage you upload to say YouTube is limited to 30fps @cold helm

cold helm
#

but when i click on youtube videos it says 60 fps 1080p on some videos and others like 4k 60 fps

#

or u mean they compress it

manic mural
#

pretty sure they compress

#

but iirc I upload 30fps footage

#

even though I record 60fps footage

cold helm
#

wow really

#

i see

fleet widget
#

i believe it uploads at 60 fps

#

i havent done youtube in a while tho

#

but im pretty sure i always got 60 fps

manic mural
#

I dunno

#

I just remember it only uploaded 30fps

cold helm
#

yea i record at 4k 60 fps and then when i hit the cog wheel to see video quality it says 4k 60 fps

fleet widget
#

it did a looooong time ago but i dont think it does anymore

#

it could also limit it if you're not a partner or something. 🤷‍♂️ I was a partner when i was doing youtube

manic mural
#

thats possible

#

I'm just uploading random stuff

cold helm
#

same here strategist say the best practice for youtube is to create 1 topic on your channel and make a lot of content for that specific topic but i do random stuff on my channel

#

as well

manic mural
#

I upload games

#

but a bunch of different games

#

whatever I play

#

mostly siege

#

and some war thunder

cold helm
#

war thunder is one of the best games ever created man

#

u know can set the video etting i forgot its either epic or movie

#

anyways

#

when u fly your airplane in a dog fight

#

that games so fun

manic mural
#

yea

cold helm
#

tanks are really good a lot of people dont know the idea about the tank part

#

what i do is

#

stay behind a mountain

#

and zoom in

#

and take a cannon bullet to the top of the tank

#

"enemy tank"

manic mural
#

Soviet tanks don't have great gun depression so I don't like the high ground strat

#

bc cresting over the hill I can't have my gun pointed at them

#

and they can easily shoot my vulnerable underside

warm belfry
#

yeah but soviet bias

cold helm
#

some people just go out in the open or travel but i camp and get alot of kills once a lot of enemy tanks are dead i proceed to be more aggresive then finish off with the team

manic mural
#

I rush a lot

#

It's more fun rushing

#

well not quite rush

#

I don't go in light tanks

#

I rush OBJ with a heavy tank

#

well tanks from each nation have their own quirks

cold helm
#

but yea i upload at 60 fps 4k for gaming for benchmakrs i do 1080p 60 fps but this is a test so i think youtube has upgraded to 60 fps

manic mural
#

lemme check

#

because all of my more recent vids were uploaded from basically raw footage

#

random clips

#

that are 60fps

cold helm
#

oh so they compmress it

#

i getcha

manic mural
#

huh

#

since when did I record in 30fps

#

oh you gotta be kidding me

#

raw was 60fps

cold helm
#

im going to use 2 programs the one u linked geforce experience recording and xsplit game caster recording brb

manic mural
#

the built in windows trimming cuts it down :p

#

guess I'll actually have to use some editing software

cold helm
#

so for both nvidia geforce experience and xsplit game caster the bit rates are about the same thats good so basically both are equal in quality for recording and they both use the gpu encoder

no, but i want to get into pcvr eventually

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

#

this one was made in partnership with HP, Steam, and Microsoft

to me it looks like the Rift S mashed up with the Index and WMR

#

im actually very excited for this

#

it looks like it took the headphones and head band from the Index, the tracking camera placement from the Rift S, the controllers for the Rift S (minus, the IR based tracking, boohoo) uhhh

calm reef
#

Why more wmr tho

halcyon fossil
#

bcuz

#

money

calm reef
#

I don’t like wmr 😦

halcyon fossil
#

why

calm reef
#

Because most of what wmr brought us is trash, mostly the tracking tho

#

Maybe they fix who know

halcyon fossil
#

tracking is sub optimal

#

but by the looks of it, the new hp headset has at least 4 cameras

#

maybe 5

#

they advertise "no compromises"

#

and developed with Steam

#

valve*

#

so like

#

the headphones look like the same as the Index, which is a HUGE step up from any other audio system, the controllers look ergonomic (although chunky) and the grip buttons look analog which is way better for immersion, the button layout is the same as oculus so devs dont have to make specific layouts for WMR, the comfort of the headset looks great with the head band design, and the HP Reverb has one of the higher resolution panels seen in VR headsets so this will either be the same or an improvement as it is a direct successor to the HP Reverb.

calm reef
#

It could have potential

#

I just it’s not a flop

halcyon fossil
#

lets hope it has a reasonable price tag or else it will probably go under the radar of most people again

calm reef
#

Yup

#

And I’m not liking the look of the controllers

#

Looks weird

Anybody here play Wolcen using a 5700XT?

#

Having a weird issue in Wolcen where CPU is pegged at 100%, but GPU is like 30-40% and running very low freqs. CPU is 9700K, GPU is PC RX 5700XT. It runs all other games perfectly (GPU maxing out at like 80-99% with 17-1800Mhz) but Wolcen just Efs it up for some reason.

manic mural

Seems it's just a CPU bottleneck in wolcen, the CPU get hit harder than the gpu..

oh my god i want this vr headset so very bad https://www.starvr.com/product/

#

according to all the reviews ive seen, it covers the entire human FOV with no distortion like PiMax headsets have

#

and the panel is OLED for good colors

#

also it has eye tracking

#

too bad its like $3.5k... plus you need to buy controllers and trackers separate...

#

lol

#

i have no idea how they managed to even fit tobii eye tracking in that thing

#

the lenses take up so much space

Ok, so after much headache I am returning my mobo PSU and RAM to newegg. Planning on doing more research and purchasing alternative parts. I'm going to stick to my R3 3200G for now, but down the road I would like to get a R5 3600/GTX 1070 for regular gaming and some light VR. So with that said how would a R5 3600/GTX 1070 combo do with VR? 1080p 90fps is my goal, even at lower settings I think I would be happy. I honestly don't play to many modern games but have recently caught the itch for VR since I saw there was a new Half-Life, Asgards Wrath looks awesome to! So if anything I'm looking for a casual build that wont break the bank, but will give me a good first impression with VR (still have never tried yet) I would like to play some modern games to, as my PS4 recently WLOD'ed on me. I'm also curious if there is a decent Mobo around $100 that I would be ok to use my R3 for now but then eventually a R5. Would a GIGABYTE B450M DS3H do ok? I just don't want to regret buying an older board later down the road when I take the plunge for VR

gilded lion
#

Yeah that board would work. I wouldn't put a powerful Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 9 on it, but it should be decent

#

And that combo is good for VR

#

I'd say spend a little more money and get something like a B450(m) PRO4 instead. I've heard Gigabyte boards can be iffy

#

@twin kraken

twin kraken
#

Interesting, that is the exact board that I am returning(B450M PRO4). I had some unsolvable problems. Though, there are a number of issues that could have been "user error" But at this point I am curious as to compatible alternatives. I am leaning towards just trying the board again fresh though. Also noobie question, when building the PC should I use both an anti-static mat and a wrist strap? Or just one or the other? Also, would a 550W PSU be sufficient? @gilded lion

gilded lion
#

For a 1070, probably

#

A PRO4 didn't work? huh. I've used that board before and loved it.

#

You don't need that anti static stuff, but some people like to have it. I've personally never used them on any of my builds

#

If you have an ATX case this one will work for like $30 more ^

manic mural
#

out of stock ;D

#

POG

#

valve lenses, valve headphones, 4320x2160 resolution compared to the valve index's combined res of 2880x1600

#

that is AWESOME

#

AND ITS ONLY $599

#

this is actually so exciting

#

RIP Vive Cosmos, RIP Valve Index, RIP literally every other headset on the market lol

#

ok for clarification

#

the reverb g2 has a resolution of 2160 by 2160 per eye

#

the Rift S has 1280x1440 per eye, and the index has 1600x1440 per eye

#

the Reverb G2 is only 90hz compared to the index's 144, but its also $400 cheaper with much better resolution.

#

it also has a longer cable than the Rift S

#

same length cable as the index

#

oh and it also has manual IPD adjustment

#

screw the rift s, im hopping on the Reverb G2 bandwagon

calm reef
#

now i just wonder how the tracking it

#

also i don't love the controller design

#

other than that it looks interesting

#

@calm reef tracking was fine on my old wmr headset, this can only be an improvement i assume

calm reef

hopefully

simple knot
halcyon fossil
#

you already posted that in general...

halcyon fossil
#

so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh just did some math

#

my math is wrong

#

one sec

#

alright

#

the cost of the Reverb G2 = the cost of the Valve Index after 1440 hours of usage as each controller takes 2 AA batteries, and based off of this
https://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Batteries-Double-Battery-Alkaline/dp/B079GXSFPB/ref=pd_lpo_121_t_1/146-4541899-6796550?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B079GXSFPB&pd_rd_r=37a07a50-7e28-4b3a-b261-777f9384befd&pd_rd_w=C7FSp&pd_rd_wg=ezQNR&pf_rd_p=7b36d496-f366-4631-94d3-61b87b52511b&pf_rd_r=WJ43NTM6072VCYY9YG4D&psc=1&refRID=WJ43NTM6072VCYY9YG4D
each pack gives you 72 hours, and you could buy about 20 packs with $400, meaning you break even at 1440 hours of usage based on a 6 hour life span for each controller.

#

That's the one design issue with the G2. LED based tracking is not the way to go, they should have done infrared light inside out tracking.

#

or just rechargeable controllers

1050ti is cutting it very close with vr

#

@halcyon fossil might of used a 1050ti or something close with a rift s tho

final horizon
#

I currently use the 1050 Ti with Rift S and it works well for most games but I want the opinion of someone who had it and upgraded. Loved it or buyer's remorse and could have spent $300 - $400 on something else.

halcyon fossil
#

i had a 1050ti and a different VR headset. I upgraded to a 1070 and a Rift S and it was a huge difference for me.

it was way smoother on the 1070

other than that the story is fantastic, its incredibly well adapted for VR, its what youd come to expect from a valve game

#

@minor kite what specs is ur pc and what vr headset do you have?

minor kite
#

I have both a valve index and a rift s, I'd prefer to get it on steamVR, and my specs are way too OP for any video game

halcyon fossil
#

saw ur nickname, dont know wether to believe it or not lol

#

but if it is true, then u will have no issues running it.

#

also its only sold on Steam, both the index and the rift s will work with it just fine

#

use whichever headset is more comfortable to you

#

index has much better audio and a nicer screen which will make the game better to experience probably

minor kite
#

k thx, just wanted to know if it was worth the time to play it (:

raven flame
#

I think you'll need at least another 2080 ti

safe garnet
#

Anyone know why FPS is so low despite utilization being low? Know that GTA is annoying sometimes, but IDK what this'd be from

#

specs: 6700k/16GB RAM/1080Ti
monitor: 3440x1440@100
game settings: mostly very high, including most things enabled in Advanced Settings except Shadow Distance

#

and yet in other areas it works fine... What is even the bottleneck here?

spice ravine
#

Maybe it has to load something?

safe garnet
#

no, pretty steady in the 65 +/- 5 FPS in that area. Before was quite steady in the low 40s with a bunch of stuff going on. Which kinda sorta makes sense to have lower FPS with more stuff going on but not really when utilization was in the mid 40s as well for GPU and CPU never seemed to peak 70 per core

calm reef
#

that happened to me in the intro then just disappeared

#

gta is weird

halcyon fossil
#

hei, quick google search with some common fixes, update bios, check ram to see if its running at correct speed, and then try installing proper chipset drivers

#

they also said reinstalling gpu drivers might help

#

obv with DDU in safe mode

warm belfry
#

yeah looks like a driver issue, or gta just being gta and not the best optimization

safe garnet
#

oh wait could be driver issue. I uninstalled Experience and havent done drivers in a while

#

what was even weirder is that a lot of the time GPU utilization followed FPS pretty well. Going into pause menu allowed it to get lots of FPS (180 or smth at ~95 GPU util). But like 40 - 50 GPU util got me 40 - 50 fps, 70 - 80 GPU util got me 70 - 80 fps

@nocturne crescent interest of VR is at its peak rn and manufacturers cant keep up especially with the release of Half Life Alyx and COVID19 causing production to slow down, so it might be awhile.

If youre looking for an alternative, the HP Reverb G2 was just announced and is shaping up to be one of the best headsets, but id wait for reviews

@vast rose perf should be the same, but AMD does have a slightly higher power consumption then Nvidia. So potentially worse battery life, louder fan, or higher temps are some things that could happen from GPU. Also note lack of NVENC encoder for video encoding

those are in stock

safe garnet
#

I would wait until a review of the 5600M comes out tho before not considering it unless you need NVENC

vast rose
#

maybe on christmas i can get a15 , but now i need something like those which one you recommend

safe garnet
#

or a review might be out now, havent really checked

vast rose
#

i will be playing jjust gta V, xplane 11 and some photoshop and illustrator (not heavy tasks)

safe garnet
#

G15 does get the most perf out of those other ones

vast rose
#

really? we can compare that 5600M with rtx2060 ? but as you said temps will go up and worst battery will you sacrifice that?

safe garnet
#

It can. But that is comparing with desktop and smth like I think 5% - 8% higher power consumption. Could very will be different on mobile due to different power targets and such

#

not to mention thinking about it, battery life wont change to much as you'll rarely be gaming on battery and when doing other things on battery like watching videos or whatnot you're going to be using the iGPU from the CPU

warm spade
#

Oculus Quest is in stock. is it honestly worth the money?

halcyon fossil
#

oculus quest is okay, for $400 you get everything you need to play full VR games with great controllers and roomscale 6DoF.

#

my warnings, current games have to tone down their graphics to play on the Quest, so it might not hold up for future games, however Oculus Link allows you to connect it to the PC so you can play anything you could play on a PC.

#

more notes, finger tracking is not a selling point, its a gimmick for the Quest. Cool tech demo, but should not be a selling point.
Also, the screen is only 72hz which might not be great for everyone.
The headset itself is front heavy and the audio is sub-par.

#

Around September this year Oculus is expected to announce a sort of Quest 2 which is expected to fix all the issues of the current Quest such as the comfort issues, the low refresh rate scree, buggy Oculus Link, and some nicer upgrades such as rumored 90hz standalone and 120hz when plugged into a PC.

#

soooooo

#

you might wanna hold out for that to come out, but idk

#

the other option at the $400 price range is the Rift S which is a lot more comfortable, 80hz screen, higher tracking volume with the 5 cameras vs the Quest's 4, however it retains the sub par audio, and lots of people have issues with it however i have not experienced any issues that I would not have without another headset.

#

also its not standalone which means it needs a PC.

#

oh, another thing, the Oculus Quest has hardware based IPD adjustment which makes it better for people with not-average IPD. (IPD stands for inter-pupillary distance, or the distance between your pupils measured in mm.)

#

The Rift S has software based IPD adjustment, and it fits most average IPDs, but if youre not average, then Quest might be a better option.

#

For just $200 more than the Rift S, the HP Reverb G2 is shaping up to be a much better value headset, however I recommend you wait for reviews as the last HP Reverb had a ton of quality control issues.

#

One final note- the Quest has a huge modding community which helps solve some if its main issues. Theres a bracket you can attach to use the Vive Deluxe Audio Strap which solves the comfort and front heavness and the audio issues, most of the issues present with the Quest, however deluxe audio straps are kinda hard to come by and cost around $100, so that, plus the Quest, plus the bracket you need to mount it ends up totaling $525 which at that point for just $75 more the Reverb G2 i was just talking about would be a much better experience assuming you have the PC to power it.

hi is this a good deal ASUS - 15.6" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 7 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 - 512GB SSD - Fortress Gray for 1000$? and then i just upgrade from 8gb to 16gb the ram?

halcyon fossil
#

that doesnt sound all that great to me

#

for $1000 i think you should at least get 16gb of ram...

#

other than that its okay, good GPU and CPU, but lacking in storage capacity.

manic mural
#

this is the most expensive thing I've ever unlocked and it doesn't even seem that good

tame cobalt
#

broom

safe garnet
#

@halcyon fossil laptops with a 2060 are like $1500 tho

#

and it's 2/3rds the cost of it with lower RAM

#

@vast rose based on all other parts it's a decent buy. Im assuming Zen2 Ryzen (4000 series)?

halcyon fossil
#

o ok then

you messed up the alphabet D:

#

maybe the order is on hold or they are holding one reserved for you?

halcyon fossil
#

@warm spade it probably sold out again lol, either that or they got so many orders theyre processing payment and its taking forever

#

hey guys, im a complete noob with pc, been using mac since '08. i got a laptop to play path of exile and i want to upgrade the gpu but its mounted to the motherboard. i can provide all the specs but idk where to start as far as getting a new motherboard/gpu

#

i called new egg and they told me to try discord

glad urchin
#

You cannot get a new gpu in your laptop. You're only option is to buy an external gpu enclosure

abstract cloak
#

Yeah, unless you can micro-solder thats impossible

pulsar dune
#

ah, and then i could pikc between the two

#

so, how do i go about buying/installing an external gpu enclosure, thats compatible with my laptop?

spice ravine
#

Does your laptop have a thunderbolt port?

pulsar dune
#

no 😦

#

can i attach txt files here?

#

itll list my specs

spice ravine
#

No gpu enclosure for you then

#

You can copy the text into chat as long as it isn't too long

pulsar dune
#

ok

glad urchin
#

Have to have thunderbolt 3 unfortunately

pulsar dune
#

Machine Acer - Spin SP315-51
Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-bit)

#

i paid 300 for it

#

super cheap just wanted something

abstract cloak
#

That doesn't even have a graphics card to upgrade.

#

Sooo

glad urchin
#

External gpus are pricey anyway so your best bet is to buy a new pc.

spice ravine
#

You payed 300 for this?

pulsar dune
#

yeah

#

did i get ripped off

spice ravine
#

eh

glad urchin
#

Not rly

spice ravine
#

I bit more expensive than I would like to see but not bad

glad urchin
#

Just not a gaming machine by any means lol

spice ravine
#

Better than a mac though

glad urchin
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

pulsar dune
#

i only play path of exile but its been pretty demanding lately

#

so, sell this and get something better?

spice ravine
#

What do you mean demanding?

pulsar dune
#

like fps drops

spice ravine
#

What does it ususally run at?

pulsar dune
#

if i turn my resolution down i can get it around 40

#

which isnt great

#

but better than the mac w/ bootczmp i was using

spice ravine
#

I'm impressed. Path of exile is a very light game I take it?

pulsar dune
#

ill list the reccomendedsettings

#

These are the Path of Exile system requirements
(minimum)
Memory:4 GB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650
CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Path of Exile File Size:20 GB
OS:Windows XP SP3/Windows 7 SP1/Windows 8

spice ravine
#

Yeah, okay. This will run on a potato

pulsar dune
#

These are the Path of Exile system requirements
(recommended)
Memory:8 GB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050
Path of Exile CPU:Intel Core i7-960
File Size:20 GB
OS:Windows 7 SP1/Windows 10

#

hahahahaha

#

could it be that im using windows 10

spice ravine
#

Maybe, but probably not

abstract cloak
#

No, you just don't meet the recommended requirements

pulsar dune
#

the only thing i dont meet is the gpu right?

swift bough
#

thats one thing

abstract cloak
#

And you only have 6GB of ram, which might actually be upgradable

spice ravine
#

CPU is iffy

pulsar dune
#

and i have an i3

swift bough
#

for the minimum, its ok

#

recommended eh

pulsar dune
#

is there anything i can do to upgrade it?

spice ravine
#

Ram

#

That's pretty much it though

swift bough
#

laptops are extremely limited for upgrades

pulsar dune
#

yeah, i now know that. i wish i went with a desktop

spice ravine
#

Do you want to stick with a laptop or would you be okay with building a desktop?

pulsar dune
#

you guys are very helpful btw

spice ravine
#

np

pulsar dune
#

i like the mobility of a laptop but i have an ipad

#

so a desktop would work

spice ravine
#

iPad is basically a laptop without a keyboard, so yeah 🙂

pulsar dune
#

i have to afk real quick. dog has to go out, brb

#

im a mac fan boy :?

#

:/

spice ravine
#

What's your budget?

pulsar dune
#

😩

#

700-800

spice ravine
#

Nice

abstract cloak
#

That's definitely enough to build a respectable PC

pulsar dune
#

ok brb

spice ravine
#

@abstract cloak You wanna do a full budget build or a specs-as-needed build?

abstract cloak
#

me?

#

Wait

spice ravine
#

Yup

#

Time to show your worth

abstract cloak
#

Well it depends on if they are planning on playing other games with that PC, and what they are willing to do. But if I were them I would probably do a full budget build so I could have that flexibility to play newer and more demanding games.

pulsar dune
#

ok back

#

i play path of exile. i played diablo on ps4 but i used to play diablo 2 as a kid on pc

swift bough
#

well, he could buy decent parts with that budget

pulsar dune
#

so id like to play that again

swift bough
#

so its like kind of budget but kind of a good build

pulsar dune
#

i mean i could spend more if i sold the laptop

#

ill sell it for 200-250 idc

swift bough
#

go for it if you want to

#

1k is a good spot for a budget

pulsar dune
#

700-800 would work tho?

swift bough
#

def

#

so its up to you

pulsar dune
#

i dont play fortnite or pubg or any of those games

swift bough
#

do you plan on playing only the games you're playing rn?

pulsar dune
#

how hard is it to build it?

#

do i have to solder pieces together

#

yeah, maybe starcraft too

abstract cloak
#

Nope, its not that hard at all.

pulsar dune
#

path of exile is all i really play tho

swift bough
#

no

#

you just plug in stuff

#

sort that out

#

turn some screws

spice ravine
#

No soldering required, everything just slides into place

swift bough
#

and yeet the plug in boom

spice ravine
#

Well, maybe not boom
